Meet Our Friend Monday — GiftStarter.com

Many of your friends are graduating — it can be difficult to find an original gift that won’t cost you an arm and a leg, and won’t be the same old check that everyone else is giving.

Instead, what if you and your other friends could go in on something that your recent graduate really wants? While you can buy it yourself and count on everyone else to pitch in, sometimes it can take forever for someone to pay you back. That’s what GiftStarter does for you: pick an item, how many people are going in on it, set up the campaign and recruit everyone to take a portion.

Then, that’s it! GiftStarter sends the gift to your lucky recepient as soon as all of the “tiles” have been claimed.

For example, an iPad will cost you over $200 to buy on your own. But, with GiftStarter, all you need is 11 friends, $20 bucks each, and your lucky graduate is going to head off to college with a brand-new iPad.

Isn’t that more exciting than another check? Check out GiftStarter.com for more items and how it works!
